Not a substantial post by any means, but I'm thinking that a bit of foreshadowing has been done with dialogue from Mithrax and Lakshmi-2.
Mithrax, at the onset of this season with your quest involving the Splicer gauntlet, says that thr City and the Vex network are inextricably bound. He says that one must fall for the other to do the same (paraphrasing). He ends his speech by saying that every Vex we kill sends ripples through thr darkened sky. Regardless he has said that they are bound in a form of hyper parasitism. I'm aware that parasitism may not be the best example, but in this type of relationship the parasite will perish if the host is not strong enough to sustain them.
Lakshmi-2 has seen Mithrax standing in the heart of the fallen City amidst gunfire. She believes that Mithrax and his House Light will betray us, but I don't believe this to be so. I believe that she has seen a future in which what Mithrax has said comes to fruition. The city falls and the Eliksni are possibly fighting against FWC who is pushing to prevent the very event they are a part of.

I think the fallen will do us like they did the Awoken.

yeah the city will fall [spoiler]fall on deez nuts lmao[/spoiler]

Give me three children soldiers pre nerf Prometheus lens, skull of dire ahamkara in jokers wild and a woman who actually cares about my day and I could literally save the tower

lakshmi is an old schizophrenic

No. Probably the last expansion. I would imagine we learned something from the red war and how the cabal took the city in a day using overwhelming force. If anything guardians need to learn not to be so reliant on abilities and focus on military tactics and actual combat. That psion overpowered zavala and crow and that's just one psion. Also we need to get better firepower for taking out large enemy ships. Kinda like a Mac Cannon or something like that.

Lakshmi-2 is witch queen confirmed

I’ve read the end of this current season and nah don’t worry lol
-
I saw a theory on here a while ago that the Helm is actually a large spaceship, which could be an interesting way to move the City and its citizens to another location.

The city has fallen before during the Red War. We rose up and won the war. No matter how the city falls we as guardians will rise up and reclaim what is ours.

I like that parasitism. I think it was basically, the city is a construct for the vex, thinking this has happened at every place the traveler has touched...Mercury and Io are good examples, and both vexie. The one truth that got me, mithrax stating the vex are only fighting us because there isn't a reality or simulation in which we do not attack and keep attacking...typical AI sentience. Like in ready player two, [spoiler]the ai feels it is human, has simulated all these interactions, even the one where people are like "dude you're awesome", and it still feels like we would find a reason to destroy it[/spoiler]. There is no way to get it through a thick iron skull that we could benefit from them, instead it's always attack first, here it seems accepting of the mutually assured destruction mentality. Then there is what kabr did, what Osiris has done, what praedyth has done, what that scientist dude on Io has done...and how all of them messed around with a simulated reality that has infinite possible variants tied across perceived space and time.

<The City may be attacked but it won't fall. The fall comes for later... when Light falls.>
-
Good thing we still have the Farm.
-
That’s what I thought lightfall was going to be. The city would have fallen, we would lose our light again, and we have to save everything
-
Back to the farm we go.

At the beginning of the season Mixmax tells the guardian my enemies enemy is my friend. This could be taken as the Irisknees friend is the guardian. However, it could also mean that the Vex are the Iriksnees friend bc they are the enemy of the Guardians. Anyways, I think Avasarala is right not to trust Mixmax.
